Mark 8:20

20 ὅτε καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ εἰς τοὺς τετρακισχιλίους, πόσων σπυρίδων πληρώματα κλασμάτων ἤρατε; καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ⸃· Ἑπτά.

Mark 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:20

And when the seven among four thousand
That is, when seven loaves were broken among four thousand men,

how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?
this surely you must remember, it being so recent an action, but just done, as it were:

and they said, seven;
for this, as yet, could not have slipped their memories; though they had, been reasoning among themselves because of their straitness of provisions, as if these things had never been done.

Mark 8:20 In-Context

18 ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες οὐ βλέπετε καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες οὐκ ἀκούετε; καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε

19 ὅτε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους ἔκλασα εἰς τοὺς πεντακισχιλίους, πόσους κοφίνους κλασμάτων πλήρεις ⸃ ἤρατε; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ · Δώδεκα.

20 ὅτε καὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ εἰς τοὺς τετρακισχιλίους, πόσων σπυρίδων πληρώματα κλασμάτων ἤρατε; καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ⸃· Ἑπτά.

21 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς · Οὔπω συνίετε;

22 Καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Βηθσαϊδάν. καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ τυφλὸν καὶ παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψηται.
